The resort village of Whistler, BC, Canada, is one of the most beautiful destinations on earth. With stunning year-round natural wonder and exciting ambience, it has a natural feeling of luxury you don’t want to lose once you check into your accommodation. Built with the intention of bringing the outside in, most of the buildings in Whistler compliment the breathtaking scenery and stay grounded in rustic elegance, and the hotels do their best to make visitors feel at home in similar bliss, as if they too reside in the majestic multi-million dollar cedar homes that confetti the area.
Most of the hotels in the area have done their best to ensure this ‘Whistler feel’ (aka cedar-beamed-rustic-chic.) But even so, a handful of properties have surpassed excellence and separated themselves from the rest, creating truly outstanding stays, bestowing on their guests the most unique, luxurious and frankly, essential elements into the Whistler Mountain properties they’ve built. The following places will make your escape to a mountain resort feel beyond the realm of “dream-itinerary” and into that of the “dream-life.” A stay that suits every single thing you could need for the style of trip you’ve planned, a stay that inspires you to discover more than you’ve planned, and somewhere you can just melt into at the end of the day.
Fairmont Chateau Whistler - Most Luxurious Hotel Stay:
The Chateau Whistler sits at the base of the mountain, overlooking Whistler village. The largest ski in / ski out hotel in North America, it is the quintessential luxury hotel stay.
I recommend, the “Fairmont Gold” stay. This executive level is dedicated to honoring your most exclusive and personal experience. Private concierge attend-to, and anticipate every detail of your trip. A stay here will be effortless and deeply relaxing. Enjoy the private lounge, which is quiet, elegant and comfortable. You’ll be staying among like-minded leisure and luxury travelers, and you’ll enjoy the freedom to select your suite based on your needs. Enjoy the jetted bathtubs, warm fireplaces, blackout curtains, and perfect pillows (which are available for purchase by the way). With a stereo and selection of CD’s and DVDs, your Gold Suite feels like your own little chalet of comfort.
The afternoon here brings cocktail canapés and an honor bar, and is the perfect place to re-acquaint with your partner or companions mid-day to discuss the rest of your day. Why not enjoy a visit to the full service Vida Spa? And, there’s nothing like skiing down the hill to see your next stop: the mist rising from the Chateau’s indoor-outdoor pool facility, complete with underwater music and outdoor hot tubs.
When evening comes, enjoy après drinks in the ground level fireside lounge where you’ll curl up to live entertainment. Later, enjoy a fondue dinner and private sleigh-ride, making this become a true winter wonderland. Just wait until you start your trip ‘outside’ the hotel experience!
Nita Lake Lodge - Most Luxurious Condos:
For your Whistler luxury vacation, some of you may wish for something a little ‘larger’ in terms of space. Maybe you want it to feel more like home, but also more than ‘just a condo’. To maintain the top luxury that comes with a hotel of highest caliber, I will recommend the Residences at Nita Lake Lodge Hotel.
The hotel itself is set just outside of the main Whistler Village, on the shores of Nita Lake. Picturesque to fairytale proportions, Nita Lake Lodge oozes boutique class and coziness within the large, vast and impressive cedar log-style structure. The most exclusive and luxurious boutique hotel stay in Whistler, Nita Lake Lodge also offers the option of the Nita Lake Private Residences: Your choice of 3,100 – 4,500 sq ft. houses, complete with stunning mountain views, gourmet kitchens, luxury amenities, and a hot-tub to call your own.
